After successfully running mommy and me programs for six years, the parents unsurprisingly requested that Chabad of Sarasota start a preschool. Since 1997 we are proud to serve the community, and provide a haven where every child entrusted in our care is given countless opportunities to grow and develop to be well-rounded and successful individuals.

Serving the educational needs of children two and one half to five years old, we look forward to opening up new worlds for your child in fun and stimulating ways. I am pleased that you have chosen our school as a home away from home for your child.  Here at Chabad’s Kaplan Preschool, we are committed to creating a warm, friendly and happy environment for your child, while simultaneously assisting your child in developing a strong positive awareness of his/her Jewish identity. Along with Judaic themes and holidays, the curriculum at the Kaplan Preschool will expose the children to a wide range of experiences including art, movement, early literacy, math skills, blocks and dramatic play, which are all integrated into our hands-on learning centers.  The Kaplan Preschool is committed to excellence, and will prepare your child for a wonderful future ahead.  It is well known that the years prior to kindergarten are the most critical in inculcating children with optimal cognitive, social and ethical learning, and we are passionate about helping each child reach his or her fullest potential.
